By the time she was 22, she had become one of the most successful composers in American popular music. She wrote wonderfully expressive and poetic songs that took the folky introspection of her peers and infused it with elements of soul, R&amp;B, jazz, and gospel, giving them an emotional heat that set her apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This 2LP edition of&nbsp;<em>Live In San Francisco, 28th April 1994<\/em>&nbsp;is available on vinyl for the first time and is pressed on limited edition clear vinyl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIMITED EDITION CLEAR VINYL 2LP SET FOR RELEASE ON 27TH&nbsp;MARCH A rare and intimate live&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[4983],"class_list":["post-29943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-laura-nyro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29943"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29945,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29943\/revisions\/29945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
